Abstract

The PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway is a critical mediator of cell functions. Activating mutations of this pathway are known to disturb normal growth and development, leading to a range of overgrowth and neurologic syndromes. We report a case of megalencephaly‐polymicrogyria‐pigmentary mosaicism syndrome (MPPM) in novel association with MTOR pathogenic variant c.6644C>A (p.Ser2215Tyr) and neonatal evanescent skin findings. This case highlights the importance of a thorough newborn cutaneous examination, as this initial window offers a critical opportunity for potential prognostication and surveillance for neurological sequelae.
